… Carlos Salas Barrios is 41 years old, Mexican citizen, who and also voted in the general election in 2024. Not a citizen, voted illegally, now busted. Kalwinder Singh Bangura, 69-year-old from India, lawful permanent resident, also voted in the, oh, look at that, the November 2024 general election.

VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas says the 69-year-old Indian citizen and lawful permanent resident was charged with voting by an alien in a federal election and false statement of citizenship to register to vote.[1][3]
Supports. The DOJ release states he voted in the November 2024 general election and later admitted he knew he was not a citizen.[1][3]
Supports. The Texas Attorney General's office announced the arrest of the same Indian citizen, Khalwinder Singh Bhengura, among seven individuals charged for illegal voting activity related to the 2024 election.[2]
Context. Sources spell the name Khalwinder Singh Bhengura, while the claim says Kalwinder Singh Bangura; the other identifying details match, so this is most likely a spelling or transliteration variant rather than a different person.[1][4][5]
Context. Attorney Nicole Knox says her client, the same green card holder, made an honest mistake, but that is a defense position and does not contradict the charge itself.[6]
